Start with what you can see
Find the right repair in Clapham
You do not need to know the technical name. Choose the description that fits, then see the repair options and what to include in your enquiry.
My fuse box keeps tripping. Do I need an electrician?
A recurring trip calls for fault finding, rather than assuming the fuse box needs replacement. Tell us what was running and which lights or sockets lost power. Do not keep resetting a circuit that trips again. Burning smells, smoke or water near electrics need urgent safety action.
A plug socket has stopped working. Can you replace it?
First establish whether the fault is at that socket, an appliance or the circuit supplying it. Tell us if other sockets have also stopped working. We arrange the relevant checks and any suitable repair; replacement of the faceplate alone may not resolve a supply fault.
My lights flicker or keep going out. Which service do I need?
Choose lighting fault finding and describe whether one fitting, a room or several rooms are affected. Include the bulb or fitting type and whether a dimmer is involved. This helps distinguish a fitting or compatibility problem from a fault requiring wider circuit checks.
The work, explained
How we can help
- Socket and switch repairs or replacement.
- Lighting faults, tripping circuits and electrical diagnosis.
- Extractor fans and outside lighting, with suitable components and testing.
Electrical work is matched to the appropriate competence. Testing, certification and any building-control notification depend on the work; these are set out in the quotation. A repair visit is not an EICR or a full rewire.
Help us plan your visit
What to include in your enquiry
- Describe affected rooms, equipment and any visible error or tripping pattern without opening covers.
- Include access to the consumer unit and who can approve a planned interruption to the supply.
- Tell us if the fitting is in a bathroom or outdoors, or if shared building equipment is involved.

Electricians & electrical repairs in Clapham
Planning the repair at your Clapham property
For a Clapham conversion or home near the Common, tell us which floor has the fault and whether original windows, cornices or timber must be retained. Work reaching another flat needs access to both homes.
Water damage near lights or wiring
Tell us if a leak has reached a ceiling light, switch or socket. Electrical assessment and the source-water repair are distinct tasks. Keep away from affected equipment and leave testing and any safe isolation to the appropriate professional.
Electrical repairs around original interiors
Show the existing switch or light fitting and any plasterwork, panelling or finish to retain. Safe compatible components take priority over a visual match. Rewiring routes and any surface disturbance need a specific plan.
Example work, explained
Investigating a faulty socket
- The problem
- A socket is unreliable, damaged or no longer supplies power. The fault can be at the fitting or elsewhere on the circuit.
- The work involved
- The electrician investigates the fault, safely isolates as required and repairs the connection or replaces a suitable fitting where appropriate. Circuit defects are explained before extra work.
- Checks and next steps
- Carry out the electrical checks appropriate to the work and explain the findings and any further action needed before the affected installation returns to use.

Help us prepare the right visit
Describe the affected rooms and any marks above or below them. Include the full street address, existing repair records and which original features should be protected.
Can you repaint a ceiling before the wet light fitting is checked?
Electrical safety and the leak source come first. Decoration or plastering should be scheduled after the affected installation and surface are ready for that work.
Can you replace a switch with a matching decorative one?
Send the product reference first. The electrician needs to check the circuit, fitting requirements and available space; making good around the switch is separate unless included.
